Dana Gas stated that the missile attack on the Kormor field caused no damage, and production continues normally.

According to a statement issued by Dana Gas, there were no casualties in yesterday's missile attack on the Kormor field in Kirkuk, and production continues normally. Only two employees were slightly injured, later treated, and have returned to work.

The statement added that security forces had launched an intensive investigation into the attack, and additional security measures had been taken.

The attack comes amid tensions between the Kurdistan Regional Government and Baghdad regarding controlling energy fields in Kirkuk. The attacked field, Kormor, produces almost half of the energy of the Kurdistan region, and the region depends on it financially as Baghdad has cut the region's budget share since 2014. 

A recent decision by the Iraqi supreme court requires the KRG to hand over its oil sector to Baghdad, and the Iraqi oil ministry has expressed its willingness to carry out the decision.
